DeadTime

August is pretty much DeadTime for SoulSlam. Baseball is over for the season and hoops is pretty far out. We are having some open gym action for the boys to work on some skills, but that is a couple of times at most.

I decided to start (re: coach) a 4th Grade Travel team this year; SoulSlam's youngest is like a young Charles Oakley - tough and ready to go under the hoop, so we'll see how it goes against better competition. To be honest, I just can't take the "rec dads" coaching basketball anymore. So we'll separate the boys who want a challenge from the dads who want a trophy. Add in my asst. duties with the 7th Grade squad and I should be busy come November.
